So it's been a few days since I've posted some images!! Some of you may have seen these before. Hooray friends!!
So last week I was lucky enough to have Friday off (which was the start of my 4 day weekend!) so I went on the hunt with my baby girl in tow. She had a blast running around TRU (well, all the stores really)! We stopped at Ollie's, Target, Toys R Us, Marshall's, Ross. Here's the local TRU TF display..
That picture was taken before I re-organized most of the things and made it pretty ('cause I'm that guy sometimes, or I care way too much about how the Transformers brand looks
). Should've taken a picture of the after. Lots of cool stuff, no sales though and there was no way I was paying $23 a piece for Brawl and Swindle (the only figures I really wanted that day). I did notice some cubes that apparently had mini Transformers in them..while organizing things I picked three..(shout out to Ironhidensh, DASHBOAAAAAARD!!)
So who were those threeeeeeee? Why, the best ones of course!!
I have the regrets for not buying all of them (which they definitely had). They are currently on my desk right now staring at me typing, while plotting and scheming!! I can't get Megatron to stand on his own to save my life though. I'm sure if I floor polish his hips he'll be fine. I should actually floor polish all of them, but I don't want that to screw up the "quick change" action. REGARDLESS!! They are effing adorable and amazing all at the same time!! Highly recommended!!
A few days ago, I grabbed a few bots out of the attic bin when I was switching things around on the display and just cleaning up overall. TFCC Depth Charge and TFCC Rampage were the lucky two. To my knowledge, I've never transformed either from robot to alt mode and I can't remember if they came in bot mode in their generic cardboard box with foam insert from the TFCC. So I decided to give it a shot.
Depth Charge first. This is just winging it for both transformations, not looking at instructions or even pictures. When I'm lazily transforming something, I'm
ultra lazy about it.
Holy cats that is one awesome jet!! SO AWESOME that I'm VERY CLOSE to ordering a DotM Space Case and a carded G2 Space Case!! Seriously. We need more jetformers that turn in to that awesome of a jet. He's in the office now too!
Next up was Rampage. He reminded me of the classic videogame of the same name, as I just wanted to smash buildings.
Since he doesn't really have a linear design (and why would a alien spaceship look like anything normal?!) and due to fatigue (late in the evening) I left him as that pile of nonsensical nonsense. I'm gonna have to look at an alt mode pic and then everything will line up. And I'm probably pretty close as it is already. Someone done goofed up, he's not Scourge!! His head shouldn't be out like that in alt mode!!
Moving on, over the last few days I've been taking random shots of my to scramble combiners with various weaponry trying to get them to be cooler and stuff. Since Liokaiser fights Star Saber, why not GIVE HIM actual Star Sabers?!
Devastator being Devastator.
A
Heavy Metal War shot..
Here's my three Combiner Wars combiners.
Here's G2asor, in the only configuration I can get Blackjack to stay in position.
Then I finally powered up the gestalts!!
All weapons are attached. I realized that G2asor has some extra paint on places or parts that make things hard to connect in certain places, which is why he ended up the way he did. That sword config for Liokaiser is where it's at!! The "tail blades" form really nice with that arms micron dealie!!
